Freebie Fridays: Design Your Own Vecco Rug (For Free!)

Update: Congratulations to our winner Christy, who says her spring DIY plans include painting the entry room walls and the front door. Come back on April 5 for another great giveaway!

We all have those DIY projects that don’t go quite according to plan: paint colors that looked so much greener on the chip, cut pieces of wood that are a quarter-inch too small for that coffee table, stencils gone awry. If you’ve ever wished you could press the reset button on your weekend task, this month’s giveaway is for you.

Vecco Studio offers a DIY alternative to expensive designer rugs: You choose from 13 colorants, various rug sizes and more than 150 stencils to create your own designs. The best part? If you don’t like the finished product, you can simply vacuum up the designs and start again. Take as many do-overs as you need, then spray on sealant to make your handiwork permanent.

Ready to design your own carpet or rug? We’re giving one lucky winner a $300 gift card to VeccoStudio.com, so you can choose the rug size, color sprays and design options that suit your home and decor.

my family bought our first home 3 years ago, and I had all these plans for my room. I wanted to add wall decals, a rug, and curtains. but none of that panned out. It's really hard to pick a color and design that would work together.
So far I bought a curtain rod. and it's been leaning against the wall for 3 years. Hopefull this fall I'll find curtains that i would like long term or I would find fabric I can make it out of.

This is a great idea. We are hoping to renovate our kitchen this year. We own a duplex and out tenants have to best kitchen. Ours very small and not arranged very well. With the hard wood floors in kitchen these rugs would be amazing. I am sure whoever wins them will love them.

Wonderful!! My husband and I are in the process of purchasing a fixer upper for the spring. We hope to take a grim, cave-like color scheme and make it fresh and springlike. And fix the holes, and the bizarre textures, and the too dark colors…
